KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
As usual, I still can find a moment to be happy about like a fangirl despite going through a difficult and critical phase in life.. It surprised me too, to know that I'm capable of being protective of myself (ie I don't want myself to dwell too long on negative emotions) ...
Anyway... my "experiments" with CDjapan & Honto.jp were a big success! Successful because I received my order safely... and I was able to get rare stuff. Let me explain briefly.
This one is from CDJapan... Kimi no Tame ni Hiku Chopin (KimiCho) vol 1-3 + Dengeki Daisy 15...
Here is KimiCho Vol 4 (this is very HARD to find... so, so, so glad that Honto managed to grab one for me *somewhat tempted to tell the mangaka on Twitter but that will involve conversing in japanese//too hard :P*)
And here's my first manga magazine: Betsucomi Nov 2013.. hehe.. because it included the last chapter of "Dengeki Daisy" (currently planning to thinking if I should get the Dec edition too).. Anyway, when I skimmed through, I saw something familiar after "Dengeki Daisy"'s chapter.. It was "Last Note"!!! LOL.. I was wondering what will happen next when I reached chap 4 of the scanlated version and then unwittingly I have the next chapter (chap 5) in my hand at this moment.. I was really surprised you know.
When I saw all the tankobon I first bought with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that it's so small :D... but I can still read the furigana.. so I was happily flipping over the pages of KimiCho vol 3 and 4.. Sure there are words I can't read but I think I followed the story quite well. And I was also surprised to see the size of the magazine. So big, so thick... I was like "What is this thing~?" XD
I actually have several two other manga at home. Kurosagi is bigger and thicker (but this won an award before so I guess it's treated a bit more special...?).. and I have vol 1 of Rurouni Kenshin that my mum bought me as a souvenir from Japan six years ago (but I have never read it before hehe).. that one was so beautiful.. and you can feel that the paper is of high quality. When I checked online, it was actually a part of the kanzenban ones (not tankobon)... so now, I kind of make it a point to know the different versions of published manga in Japan.
